Year in review highlights Baldwin and Lawrence events
The June to December period saw Baldwin fire city clerk Penni L. Porter amid suspected misused funds and hire Larry Paine as city administrator. Lawrence replaced school leadership with Kathleen Williams and faced transit budget pressures. KU draft picks Lafrentz and Pierce starred, while weather and legal changes dominated the headlines from storms to foster care debates and a DOJ impeachment backdrop.
